What We Think

Night of the Demons is about as non-woke as it gets for a late ‘80s horror flick. No forced representation, no cultural revisionism, just demons, parties, and very questionable life choices. Pure, unapologetic camp.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Night of the Demons is a classic 1980s horror film that doesn’t prioritize identity politics over storytelling. It focuses on genre conventions, traditional horror tropes, and basic character archetypes, without shoehorning in forced representation or ideological messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn’t aim to undermine cultural foundations like family, religion, or tradition; in fact, it plays things pretty straight-laced for a late ‘80s horror. Masculinity isn’t pathologized and there’s no commentary on gender roles beyond standard horror fare.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no central ideological message, and differing viewpoints aren’t villainized or mocked. Characters are mainly generic teens, all equally doomed by their poor decisions rather than any social commentary.
